Thank you for your interest in our Scuba Program. The Open Water
Program is based upon a consistent progression
from the Classroom, to the Pool, ultimately
leading to the Open Water upon development of
your diving skills efficiently and safely.
Unlike some of the certification programs in the diving
industry, our Open Water program is primarily concerned
with the quality of the divers that we create. not the
quantity.

PROGRAM
EXPENSES
Realistically, no matter where or when you take your
training you will spend between $200 and $600 to be properly equipped
and properly trained. This cost may include your own personal equipment,
or your snorkeling gear, rentals, certification materials, dive planning
tools, classes and pool sessions. |

Buying vs. Renting
Should you rent or should you own your equipment.
Let's look at the details:
New divers renting equipment, generally,
do not dive often, if any after their certification
programs. Why? You ask. It's pretty simple, rental equipment
is not designed for you. If your first experience diving
was uncomfortable, for any reason, the motivation to
experience having that uncomfortable feeling again will
be pretty low. Most people have varying body sizes,
thus the equipment should be fit for the particular
user. If you are trained in your own equipment system,
and are warm and comfortable...you will be 100% more
likely to enjoy your first dive and continue to divein
the future.

Program Specifics
Whether private or group classes
we will spend the time it takes to get you to become
comfortable underwater. The program is not pass or fail.
It is based upon your ability to develop your safe diving
habits. Unlike the some others in the industry, we care
about spending time with you.
Classroom sessions are done at our store and pool sessions
at the YWCA. You will not be in the open water, until
you have comfortably completed your skills in the pool.
Pool practice sessions are free and are encouraged.
The first step is to contact the store. We would like
to take the time and show you what the program has to
offer. Don't trust your
safety to an independent instructor or sporting goods
store, trust only professionally trained instructors
at dedicated scuba diving stores.
There is a Difference in the Diving Industry!
